The meat chicken industry is an important component of the agricultural sector of New South Wales.

Location of meat chicken farms and facilities in areas surrounding expanding residential areas raises the potential for land-use conflicts between farmers and residents. At the same time, increased intensification of production technology increases the potential for environmental impact.

The Guidelines have been developed to help industry, government and the community to manage planning and environmental issues by establishing guidelines for the planning, design, construction, operation and management of meat chicken farms in New South Wales.
